Mazda is offering two more street incentives to commercial fleets for its 2019-MY lineup in addition to the two that were announced earlier this year.

The automaker will be offering $1,000 for the CX-9 and CX-5. Mazda previously announced that it was offering $750 for its CX-3 subcompact SUV and $250 for its MX-5 Miata sports car, said Aileen Sato, manager of commercial fleet sales.

The company's fleet unit plans to eventually offer incentives for its Mazda3 compact car and Mazda6 midsize sedan.
